The Stove Front
Now that the top is clean, clean down the
front of the stove. The first little roadblock
here can be a row of burner control knobs.
Knobs can be cleaned by spraying with Red
Juice and using your toothbrush on them
and around their edges.
If you can't get this area clean without removing the controls,
first clean and wipe the knobs themselves while in place. Then pull
each one straight out, wipe it clean, and set it on the counter to
the right of the stove in the same relative position it was in while
on the stove. While the knobs are off, clean the area of the stove
front you couldn't clean while the knobs were in place. Use Red
Juice and white pad on this area and wipe it dry before replacing
the knobs. This chore shouldn't have to be done every time you
clean.
Open the oven door to clean the oven side of the window. It can
be cleaned with your razor blade. Be sure to spray the window
first with Red Juice: It's easier to clean and it's also more difficult
to scratch the glass when it's wet. This window should be
cleaned even though you're not cleaning the inside of the oven.
Wipe the rest of the front of the stove as necessary. Don't
automatically clean the entire front of the stove. Remember that
horizontal surfaces get dirty faster than vertical ones. Once
again: If it isn't dirty, don't clean it.
The Middle of the Room
If there is a work island, this may be
the right time to turn around and clean
it. Just spray and wipe the counter top.
The important thing is not to overlook
it.
